Crossbone by Daniel Olsén

 
The game starts with the Baracudan pirates attacking, and we play as Breeze, a freelancer armed with an anchor that becomes involved with the battle that takes place on the wharf where he worked. He later gets into every sort of trouble facing first the attack of a giant bug monster and later a raid of some dragon pillagers. The setting is a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, with monstrous creatures and ships that turn into mechas.
 

 Crossbone is another cool game from the Gaming Ground Zero site: an entertaining wild adventure where we will meet many quirky characters. Breeze is in fact just the first hero we'll control, but there are others, and the setting is colorful and original. The author used RTPs but also worked a lot making original graphics, sprites and assets that make this game stand out. Aside for Crossbone Daniel Olsen made a lot of cool art in other games, like for example in Mog's Adventure.

 
 
Random Fact: this game, despite being only a demo, was also translated into spanish by someone. No one knows who is this mysterious translator.

Final Verdict: this game is pretty well done, with many custom animations and graphics. The setting is also unique, a futuristic age of pirates with technology and magic. It's really a pity that's only a short demo, because it's really polished and fun!
